practices are small group instruction and centers. Together,
they enable children to receive instruction matched to their
needs and social development.”
Lee Wright, Ed.D., OWL Consulting Author, University of Houston

“The centrality of vocabulary has become increasingly clear as has the need

to these challenges.”
David K. Dickinson, Ed.D., OWL Program Author, Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College

What’s My Word?
• Later in the week, play What’s My Word?
• Children produce language and develop critical thinking.
When you see me, it’s time
to play a learning game.
“Research supports the critical role of the child’s first language (L1) in literacy
development and its effect on literacy in (L2) English. Strong L1 literacy skills
facilitate the transfer into English literacy. OWL is authentic to each language
and mirrors instructional routines that facilitate strong concept development.”
Elena Izquierdo, Ph.D., OWL Consulting Author, University of Texas, El Paso
